THE CLEARWATER EXTENSION

The extension of the Oregon Rail.
way Il Navigation road from Pomeroy
into the Potlatch or Clearwater country is
only little less important than the pro,
posed extensions into the Occur d'Alene
mines and to Spokane Falls. Here is a
country equal or superior to the region
about Spokane.
1t has broad acres Of rich land, fine
deposits of mineral, abundant timber,
extensive range-everything but large
population. The wealth of the com.
paratively small population now in the
country attests its magnificent resources.
A region so near at hand and 50 rich in
possibilities ought to be annexed to
Portland by the tie of direct transporta
ton, if for no immediate reason, as a
means of holding it against competition.
There is reason to believe that the
Northern Pacific is eager to get into the
Potlatch country and that it intends to
put branch there if possible by stealth.
With its Palouse branch compl. ted, there
will be nothing to prevent speedy ad-
vance to the Clearwater, and such move
ment is likely to be made if the Oregon
Railway Il Navigation does not first
possess itself of the field. There are
those who believe this to Be Che chief
and concealed purpose of the Palouse
branch,
The considerations involved are 50
important for Portland that we cannot
refrain from urging the matter OF the
Clearwater extension upon the new man.
asement of the Oregon Railway e. Navi-
cation Company. Prompt action will
secure permanently for Portland rich
district, while delay may give it into the
hands of our rivals. We need not re-
mind the new management that the
interests of the city and of the railroad
are identical 10 this matter. Let the
railroad show an active spirit and it will
find no mean ally in the wealth and
business enterprise of Portland Ore.

AN ACTIVE VOLCANO,

Tucson, A. T., June THE Stars
special from Mermosillo says: The ex.
plorcrs sent out by Gov. Torres to as.
certain the existence Of the volcano, as
reported near Bavispc, Sonora, have re.
turned. They report an active volcano
fourteen miles southeast of Bavispe, iu
the Sirra Madre mountains. The party
could not approach nearer than within
four miles Of the mountain. The crater
was pouring forth immense volumes of
smoke, fire and lava. Boiling water
issued from the side of the mountain,
and lava in vast waves slowly poured
down the mountain side into canyons,
which are being filed up. The boiling
water had destroyed all vegetation in
the valley in the vicinity.
One peculiar feature Of the volcano
was its great activity. Boulders weighing
tons are hurled down the crater. The
exploring party say the noise proceeding
from the mountain is most terrific, like
a number Of engines at work, accompani.
cd by sound Of thunder. The air ID
dense with smoke and cinders. The
party had great difficulty in approaching
within four miles Of the mountain,
owing to great chasms made by the
earthquake, and all roads and trails are
t,t,lly wiped out.
Que Of the party states that the
country around the vicinity Of the vol.
cano, for many miles, looks like judg-
mens day. The entire surface Of the
Garth presents a woe begone appearance,
within ten miles of the volcano. The
town of Bsrispe is . complete ruin.
The people have oil moved out on the
high plains, aud are living in tents and
in mortal fear. There is q constant
tremor and continual series of shocks
daily.
Since the ast earthquake shock there
have been one or more tremors daily
throughout Arizona. Last night q,
11:30 quite heavy shock was felt hare.

10 Washington Territory the Indian.
have an ingenious scheme BY which they
kill a large number Of deer with but
very little trouble. Taking some old
blankets they fasten them at short in.
tcrvals upon the bushes, making . long
line of bushes so covered. Then taking
large area of timber, they gradually
close in on the frightened deer. When
the animals have reached the line oil
blankets they travel around in 4 circle
like a whirlpool, refusing to pass the
line of blankets. This enables the In.
disus to kill them ~ rapidly as they
please. -Er.
